All your client work, in one place.
Rumline is a Mac app for freelancers juggling a lot of clients at once. It keeps every project's tasks, notes, and follow-ups together — and each morning it tells you which client needs you first, so nothing slips through the cracks.
Why it exists
When you're running a dozen client projects at once, the hard part isn't the work itself — it's keeping track of it all. A task someone mentioned on a call. A follow-up you meant to send. A client you haven't talked to in three weeks.
Most mornings start with the same question: who needs me today? And answering it usually means digging through email, scattered notes, and a couple of different to-do apps.
Rumline puts it all in one place. You jot tasks down in plain words and it files them under the right client. It quietly keeps an eye on which projects are falling behind. And every morning, it tells you the one thing worth doing first.
At a glance
Three colors. One quick glance.
Rumline gives every client a color based on how much work is piling up and how long it's been since you last talked to them. You never set it yourself — it updates on its own. And it always tells you why: not just "red," but "red — 4 tasks overdue, last talked 21 days ago."
Needs you now
Tasks are overdue, or a client has gone quiet longer than you'd like. This is the one to handle today.
Keep an eye on it
Work is starting to pile up, or it's been a while since you checked in. Fine for now, but headed for trouble if you ignore it.
All caught up
You've been in touch recently and the to-do list is manageable. Nothing here needs you today.
What it does
Built for the way you actually work.
Add a task in seconds.
Press one keyboard shortcut from any app and a small input box pops up. Type the task the way you'd say it — Call Geoffrey #bikeshop tomorrow — and Rumline figures out the client, the due date, and the priority for you. No forms to fill in, no menus to click through.
See where every client stands.
There's no "status" field to keep up to date. Rumline works out how each project is doing on its own — from your open tasks, what's overdue, and when you last talked to the client. You just do the work; it keeps score and shows you who's slipping.
A quick morning brief.
Each morning Rumline writes you a short summary of what matters today — what's overdue, which clients need attention, and what you promised to deliver. It ends with the single most important thing to get done. Written right on your Mac, so it stays private.
Turn meeting notes into tasks.
Paste in your call notes or a meeting transcript, pick the client, and Rumline pulls out the to-dos for you. You review and edit everything before it's saved — nothing gets added without your okay. No more retyping your notes after every meeting.
